Mapmaker Lyrics

(Reckon a fix too far) Dead fix

Name the stab of sadness you find
The day you realize
Hits like a train, your world dismembered rolls right by
The way your hometown's defined
Just a name and some lines
On a map you don't recognize

Clutch yourself, you're a child
Give the dead skin a kiss
Coddled until it's putrid
As precious as it is
Stillborn life

But look in its mercury eyes
What was the color, or was there a color before?
And drive back to your old school
Chalk on the blackboard, or was there a chain on the door?

What was that thing that you said I said?
You said I'd never said it before
Said it with your eyes half closed,
Two horizons at civil twilight
I think you were asleep

"Windrose, burn in the sky
Blister your truth into half closed eyes"

Dead fix
